The evening for a mechanic, 37, and his family turned into a nightmare, on Wednesday, after three armed bandits invade his home, tied up his family and beat him up before escaping with cash and gold jewellery valued over a million dollars.
According to police reports, the robbery took place at around 20:00hrs at the mechanic’s home located at Recht-Door-Zee, La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
Investigators were told that the man was standing on his veranda when the three men –one armed with a handgun, one with a knife and the other with a cutlass, scaled his fence.
The bandit armed with the gun ran up to the mechanic and placed the weapon to his head ordering him into his house.
The others followed behind and entered the mechanic’s home where they proceeded to tie up his wife and children in the living room. While doing so, they demanded cash and valuables.
The bandits then took the mechanic into the bedroom where they forced him to hand over, $300,000 in cash. He was then beaten by the men to hand over jewellery as well before they tied him up and ransacked the house.
The men located the gold jewellery, and stole the family’s cell phones and a laptop along with other items before they got away, leaving the family tied up.
Not long after, the mechanic managed to free himself and raise an alarm. Neighbours assisted the man with freeing his family before he was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
There he was treated for head injuries and sent away.
